First Blood - Father Christmas



OK, lets start this blog with my latest project. I bought this mini during the summer at the Eastbourne Redoubt games show. The aim was to paint and photograph the mini for use in a home made Christmas card. I left it a bit late but was able to complete the project just in time for Christmas.

The Mini is a little over 28mm scale so the toys were a challenge to paint. I'm particularly happy with the face and eyes. Maybe not as jovial as St Nick should be but I was still happy non-the-less. This is the first time I can say that I felt using a 'wash' improved the model. This is definitely an area of technique that I need to work on.

  2. Still learning mate, still learning. I'll be playing with this over the next week and get things tidy as I learn more. Thanks for checking in!
